mm: add PAGE_TYPE_OP folio functions
Patch series "Split ptdesc from struct page", v9.
The MM subsystem is trying to shrink struct page. This patchset
introduces a memory descriptor for page table tracking - struct ptdesc.
This patchset introduces ptdesc, splits ptdesc from struct page, and
converts many callers of page table constructor/destructors to use
ptdescs.
Ptdesc is a foundation to further standardize page tables, and eventually
allow for dynamic allocation of page tables independent of struct page.
However, the use of pages for page table tracking is quite deeply
ingrained and varied across archictectures, so there is still a lot of
work to be done before that can happen.
This patch (of 31):
No folio equivalents for page type operations have been defined, so define
them for later folio conversions.
Also changes the Page##uname macros to take in const struct page* since we
only read the memory here.
